Today was sixteen miles at Draconia. I started out fairly slow (6:45's), then just cruised until the finish. I was very surprised at how good I felt today. It must have been the ice cream last night! No joke, that stuff seems to really help me run well!

I ran with my old coach today at Bobolink. My pacing was really easy. Tommorrow is a beast workout, so I need to be rested up!

Today may just have been one of my best workouts ever! I was assigned the big boy group again :), consisting of 5x1500 meters in 4:27 (4:44ish mile pace), with 500 meters of rest (usually 2:00 mins). We did the workout on the football practice fields at 6:30 am, so it was nice and cool - no worrying about heat! The first one hurt, mainly since it was a "shock" to hit that pace for a sustained time, but after this, I just got in a groove and cruised. The fastest I hit was 4:26, while the slowest I hit was 4:29. As far as "hurt" is concerned, it felt the exact same as our last 1500 workout (where I did 4:34's to 4:35's on average), so I am making some improvements! Most importantly, I am pleased to be feeling well after last week. This weekend we have a race, so I am going to rest up for the next three days. Feelin' good!

Today was a middle distance run in South Boulder. I felt decent, a bit tired, but fine overall. We have the Shootout this weekend, so I will rest up tommorrow...no running!

Today was the Rocky Mountain Shootout. This was not a great race for me, but in the overall scheme, was not too bad. I went out fairly slow, and felt great for the first three miles. At mile 3.5ish, however, I hit a massive wall. From there on, I was just hanging on. I really did not feel like I went out too fast, but after looking at mile splits, I may have. It is unfortunate to be "just hanging on" and not racing for the last two miles, but I thats a risk I took by getting out well. I feel like I still have a bit of cumulative fatigue from Iowa, too, so I am sure that contributed to not feeling zippy today. I still ran substancially faster than last year (when I had a great race) and scored for our team (first time!) but I know I could have run much better. Next up: Pre-Nats!!! I think that I can rest up and have a really good race there!
